New JBoss xPaaS offerings help developers integrate SaaS, PaaS, and
on-premise applications
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 and strengthened its
xPaaS with a new private integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS)
offering to provide cloud-based services for application integration and
messaging. Based on their traditional on-premise counterparts, the new
services — JBoss Fuse for xPaaS and JBoss A-MQ for xPaaS — offer
unified, enterprise-grade integration to, from, and within the cloud.
With today's release of OpenShift Enterprise 2.2, Red Hat further
enhances the PaaS experience by delivering key features for operations,
including integration with Red
Hat CloudForms.
Hybrid IT infrastructures are the new norm for modern enterprises, but
integrating applications and workloads across these environments can be
complex and challenging. Cloud-based integration and messaging tools
such as JBoss Fuse for xPaaS and JBoss A-MQ for xPaaS allow for faster
integration by removing the traditional infrastructure setup process
that can increase application time-to-market. OpenShift by Red Hat gives
developers and enterprise architects more control over their application
infrastructure through self-service capabilities.
JBoss xPaaS services blend the agility and flexibility of PaaS with
powerful middleware capabilities in an enterprise-ready package. Red Hat
opens the door to a new paradigm for enterprise application development
by combining its middleware stack and PaaS technologies to create a
unified development and operations experience. In addition to the
application container service based on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise
Application Platform and new generally available integration and
messaging services, JBoss xPaaS technologies available today in
developer preview include services for data virtualization, mobile,
application containers, business process management, and business rules
management.
JBoss Fuse for xPaaS and JBoss A-MQ for xPaaS are based on Red Hat's
traditional on-premise integration and messaging offerings, Red
Hat JBoss Fuse and Red
Hat JBoss A-MQ. The latest versions of both products, announced
at Red Hat Summit 2014, introduced features such as full support for
AMQP 1.0, a vast library of connectors, improved high availability, and
the ability to manage processes.
The release of OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 brings improved integration with
existing datacenter infrastructure and enables easy deployment on a
variety of virtualization and cloud technologies through integration
with Red
Hat CloudForms, the company's hybrid cloud management offering.
OpenShift Enterprise 2.2 provides out-of-the-box integration with
popular identity management and DNS management platforms for easy
integration into enterprise datacenters. In addition, enhanced PaaS
management for operations is enabled by the addition of application
placement and middleware cartridge configuration controls. OpenShift
Enterprise deployment can be fully automated and controlled by Red Hat
CloudForms. This capability enables OpenShift Enterprise to be deployed
automatically to any hybrid cloud infrastructure managed by CloudForms.
Red Hat will demonstrate these services in booth #206 at AWS
re:Invent Nov. 11-14, 2014, in Las Vegas, and in booth #3 at DEVOXX
Nov. 10-14, 2014, in Antwerp, Belgium.

Craig Muzilla, senior vice president, Application Platforms Business,
Red Hat
"We believe JBoss xPaaS will be a game changer for how enterprise
development will be done in the future. Red Hat is unique in its ability
to combine JBoss and OpenShift to offer enterprises a unified experience
for building, integrating, and running applications in an open hybrid
cloud."
Massimo Pezzini, vice president, Gartner, et al, writes:
"Enterprise iPaaS offerings increasingly compete with classic
on-premises integration platforms. However, especially in large
organizations, enterprise iPaaS offerings often cooperate with
established integration middleware. I expect this to lead to the
emergence of hybrid integration platforms, combining enterprise iPaaS
characteristics with those of traditional on-premises integration
platforms, enabling public and private cloud deployment models and
serving a variety of requirements."1
Joe Dickman, senior vice president, Vizuri
